Hey everyone, first post here.
I recently bought a NEW HTC Dream off eBay. After receiving it, i tested out with my sim card, and found out that it does indeed work with my network (3 Australia), and everything else functions as normal (google sync, sms, internet).
However, i know that the firmware is 1.1, and i want to upgrade it. After trying to "Check for updates" in the normal settings, an error occurs and force closes the settings, not allowing me to upgrade.
I checked the info, and this is what it is (see text file attached as i cannot post "links")
the phone IS "T Mobile" branded, yet it works with all of my settings in Australia, except for the upgrade.
I tried to download 1.5 various times, and tried to upgrade manually, but it will not work.
My question - what is going on, why can't i upgrade to the latest firmware ??
Thanks everyone in advance
bump
please guys, need help !

Hi All,
I recently bought a i9000 galaxy s from Turkey, phone doesn't have the market app by default. I want to make the minimum changes to my phone so that I can access the android market. I looked through the previous posts but I am lost. Hopefully someone can point to the right direction.
Here is the version info:
pda i9000jvjh1
phone i9000jxjg2
csc i9000trcji1
Here is what I attempted so far:
- I can access recovery/download modes.
- Rooted the phone. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=739304)
- Running system/app/Vending.apk gives a parse error.
- Installed the market-enabler app
- Found a vending.apk on another website and copied it to the sd-card, I was able to install it but when I try to download an app it says: "The application Market (process com.android.vending) has stopped unexpectedly, please try again." Also when I look at the downloads tap of the market I see that things are stuck at "starting download..".
What should I do next? There is an update to Froyo available on Kies for my device, but I learnt that update doesn't have the market app either.
P.S.: I am on a Mac and have limited access to windows.
Thanks a lot.

Is this the correct section of the forum for this kind of question or should I repost somewhere else? Thanks.
Why dont you flash a whole new firmware, it comes included, you will also be stock and have no unnecessary modifications

I have been working on this issue for the past couple days but couldn't resolve it. It seems like flashing to a new firmware is the way to go. I wondering if flashing would void any warranties? Also how do I decide which firmware to use? I'd appreciate if someone could suggest a firmware. Thanks a lot.

Hey samsunghgt,
Have you found a solution for the market issue? Did you flash a new firmware? If so, whiich one did you flash ? And is it working well?
Hi folks, looking for some help here please.
I have a samsung galaxy s on the three network in the UK.
I have not rooted or applied any lag fixes to it at present as i dont want to invalidate the warranty at such an early stage.
The official Froyo update became available via Kies this morning and i tried to update.
The phone connected to Kies alright, it downloaded the binary file OK and then stated it would start instal.
The progress bar did not move but my laptop made the sound when a USB device disconnects, then a second or two later made the same sound which i was taking to mean that the phone had reconnected, however Kies came up with a message that the connection had been terminated and then another message stating there had been an unexpected error and that the upgrade had failed.
It then offered to recover the phone.
Instructions were to remove the cable, remove the battery, start phone in recovery mode and then to reconnect cable. I did all of this but when i reconnect the cable, my phone is not recognised as having connected and nothing else happens.
If i restart phone it works OK on old firmware but if i try upgrading again, Kies gives a message that a previous upgrade failed and i should attempt recovering firmware. I have been at this for hours now with no joy.
I have two options in Kies, either to attempt upgrade again which always ends in error message that unexpected error occured, or to attempt recovery and in this case my phone is not shown as connected. When i start in recovery mode should i select any option or just leave it at the screen that appears.
At this point i really dont want to try any other firmwares or fixes so would really appreciate if anyone has had similar problems being able to throw me a lifeline.
Thanks for any help.
Sorry i cant help you but are you on payg or contract with 3?, im on contract with 3 but kies is not showing any firmware upgrade for me
I have had a three contract since they began, however i bought the samsung galaxy s about a month ago to replace my Nokia N86 as i fancied a change and didnt want to wait almost a year. So basically it is my contracted sim into a bought PAYG phone.
I have been following the posts at blog.three (sorry not able to post full URL) and they reported on Friday that the update would be here soon. Logged in to Kies this morning and it stated an update was due. My head is bursting with this as i have read so many posts and tried so many instals, and reinstals of Kies, i have tried upgrading with Sim card and SD card removed, still no joy. i am beginning to wonder if there is another flaw with the three version of froyo. Good luck anyway.
p.s, asking if i was on PAYG or contract made me think, so i tried putting the PAYG sim card in that i got with the phone, connected to Kies and upgrade still available however same error when trying to upgrade. The rollout may be by region or by banks of phone numbers, so you should get it shortly, although heres hoping it works for you
Thanks for the reply Doc, could you pm me that url pls?
Good luck to you with solving your problem.
Doc, just to let you know you aren't alone - I too have the same problem - tried it on both computers - says the update is available, it starts the download, the knocks the phone into download mode before coming up with an error message. I have tried to put it into recovery mode and it still fails - however I can just restart the phone and the old firmware is still in place.
No lagfix/root etc. Just a bog standard three phone.
Anyone who could help please!!!!!!!!
I'm in Canada, on Bell. using the baseband version i9000UGJL2. Its not rooted or anything.
it started yesterday, but I can't connect to twitter, through apps, or even through the web browser. It will work if I have the phone on Wifi, but it won't work on 3G/HSPA. All other apps and websites work fine.
There's appearantly a new firmware out, but Kies won't let me update to it. I tried using the registry editor to force the update, but when the process starts, it stops and says its not available for my firmware version.
I had to use Kies (older version back around the new year) & the 1.7 reg editor to force update to froyo. Is there anything else I can do with what I've got? Or do I need to look into rooting it? I'm kind of new to all this, so any help would be appreciated. TIA
What new firmware ??
Most likely a Twitter/ your Twitter account /settings problem as its both an app and web problem .
Rooting will not help that's only gaining administrator rights over your phone .

Has anyone managed to update their phone by OTA in the setting,about menu??
If i try to update its just sitting there for a good minute or two, then just times out saying connection problems.. (over wifi, not able to try over 3G)
Ok, maby there's no update to get, but shouldnt the phone state so, not connection problems?
Anyone actually got this feature working?
It works.
I did a OTA update from V10c to V10d 3 weeks ago.
It depends on the day. Sometimes the Update Server seems to be offline and sometime online. I get the message "You have the lates Version" which pops up very fast or "Connection failed" after a few minutes.
No problems here.
Mine just pops up with the usual 'you have the latest version' message

I have no update option in "About" settings. I searched and saw a thread but no solution on how to get it back. I am on 10b version with 405 baseband from India. Any advice / solution on this
Hi ,
in Italy OTA update works from V10A to V10B.
But V10B on my phone not work fine , It make reboot or freeze my P990.
The new V10C ( beta ) are very good for now
I think there was a similar thread. If you have an unbranded phone you might not be able to use ota as its via a network provider. However you'll more likely get any update quicker via the lg update tool because of this

I have changed several ROMs for my HD7. I played with developer unlocked phone etc... However I decided to return to the "original" ROM, and update phone "regularly" with Zune.
At the moment I have:
OS Version - 7.10.8107.79
Firmware revision number - 2250.09.15401.401
I have problem with tethering (i just don't have "internet sharing" option). I'm guessing I haven't received HD7 firmware update?
This was not such a big problem, however I also have trouble with Tango(app) and Skype. I cannot make them work...
Does anyone have any idea?
